Abstract

The device is a portable inhalers. It is an electronic device that uses air pressure to deliver, flavor, aroma and possibly active elements utilizing air pressure, airflow and room temperature volatilization or vaporization. It has a ducted blower to blow room temperature air through a filter embedded with liquid, powder, paste or other source material. The user would insert the nozzle into the nose or mouth and inhale to enjoy the aroma and to receive the benefits of active elements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
• There are a number of significant design features and improvements incorporated within the invention.
• This device and system is aninhaler1 that is an electronic device that uses air pressure to deliver, flavor, aroma and possibly active elements utilizing air pressure, airflow and room temperature volatilization or vaporization as shown inFIGS. 1a,1b,2a,2b,3aand3b.
• Theinhaler1 is an electronic device that uses air pressure to deliver, flavor, aroma and possibly active elements utilizing air pressure, airflow and room temperature volatilization or vaporization. Certain substances can have strong release of active elements and their aromatic elements at room temperature when exposed to air-pressure. The current invention is designed to maximize this when used.
• Theinhaler1 consists of abody10 with anozzle7 at one end with aopening9 allowing for the intake of air from thedevice1. Theinhaler1 uses a ductedblower10 to blowroom temperature air15 through afilter20 embedded with a liquid, powder, paste orother source material25. The user can then insert thenozzle7 into the nose or mouth and inhale to enjoy the aroma and to receive the benefits of active elements as shown inFIG. 5. Examples of the active elements from thesource materials25 used include but are not limited to; Eucalyptus, Menthol, Caffeine, and/or Tobacco/Nicotine.
• Thedevice1 will have aswitch30 that toggles it on and off. Thisswitch30 will be on the top of thebody10. Theswitch30 is pressed down to on and release to off.
• In the preferred embodiment, the device would have a superbright LED40 inside thebody10 to light up thedevice1 when in use. Thedevice1 can also have aUSB port50 to charge internal batteries or provide power.
• Thedevice1 would be made of a use non glossy plastic for thebody10 and thenozzle7. Thedevice1 should be flat plastic as shown inFIG. 1. A variety of colors can be used with thebody10 and thenozzle7 being the same color or different colors. Thebody10 would have rounded edges andair intake openings60 and in the preferred embodiment be in the shape of a nine.
• Thefilter20 will be comprised of a small screen with a fine mesh. It is designed to be replaceable after a number of uses.
• FIG. 5 shows the components of thedevice1.
• In an alternative embodiment, thefilter20 is attached to adisposable nozzle7 as shown inFIG. 6, so both thenozzle7 and thefilter20 can be throw away of a number of uses. This will increase the safety of theinhaler1 while increasing the ease of replacing the filter.
• FIG. 4 shows theairflow15 through thedevice1. Theair15 is brought inair intake openings60 through thefilter20 and throughsource material25 driven by the ductedblower70 to thenozzle7. The ductedblower70 consists of a fan like mechanism powered by apower source12 such as a battery and is turned on and off by theswitch30. The ducted blower blowsroom temperature air15 through afilter20 that has been embedded with liquid, powder, paste orother source material25.
• The superbright LED40 is also connected to thepower source12 and is turned on and off by theswitch30.
• Thefilters20 can be treated with the special menthol oils on them or other smells that the user may want. The nozzles may also be able to be preloaded withdifferent source material25.
• As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.
• With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
• Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur by those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
